Now, you’re thinking of preparing an exit plan because you want the company to continue running smoothly without you. You’re considering leaving...
One of my relatives, Sara, is a retiree, aged 62 and single. During our conversation, she shared that she has approximately RM100,000 in cash and a condominium worth RM700,000.
